In Shawn J Farritor's first novel, End of Pawnee Starlight, memorable characters are drawn from the chapters of Nebraska history to create a stirring account of the final years of the Pawnee Nation within the state.

The well-meaning but inexperienced trail agent, John Williamson, finds himself engulfed by the deadly resposibility of escourting the Pawnee on their doomed final hunt as he attempts to charm a proud Pawnee girl.  The didgnified Great Pawnee Chief, Petalasharo, struggles to keep his people on the land of their ancestors.  The formidable warrior, Sky Chief, leads his people into disaster on their summer buffalo hunt.  The hardened army scout, Frank North, and his more reflective younger broth, Luther North, assist the Pawnee in their terrible warfare with the powerful Sioux.
